    The girls were great - up at a good hour and ready to leave for a day in town by 9am.

    I dropped Shoshannah off to have a foot scraping done and the laboratory.

    From there she walked to Nelson Beauty.

    Mahalia and I whizzed over to get the WoF done.

    He did it quickly for me - in fact I only just had time to paint my nails while waiting

    Then we headed back to town and went to the Rata Room.

    There was a special morning tea on for the last day it would be open this year.

    Nathan's course has now finished and they were just doing end of year fun things after this day.

    We had hot drinks and Tim Tams and chatted with his tutor Robyn.

    She is so lovely and think Nathan is just great.

    Shoshannah and Katherine were shopping.

    We met up for lunch at the Wrap Shack in Fashion Island's Farmers Market.

    On the way we met Jessika and she was heading there too.

    She we all bought salmon & avocado wraps - they are absolutely-deliciously-to-die-for recommended!!

    We stood and chatted and ate until Jessica had to go back to work.

    I then just had time to take the girls to their next appointment.

    They were busy for several hours so I had time to go out to Richmond and meet up with Sally.

    We had a lovely child free time at Ambrosia.

    I had to be back in Nelson to meet Tim by 4pm.

    It is great to be heading into the traffic at that time of day when all the the cars coming out of the city are bumper to bumper at snail speed.

    I found Tim & Ellie.

    He had left Azzan at the library with Shoshannah.

    Mahalia had been picked up by the Winnington's and gone to riding lessons with Sophie and RDA.

    Ellie went off to start sorting out her medical for her visa.

    Tim & I had an hour with Ben going over the accounts for lat year.

    I bolted at 5pm and took Shoshannah & Azzan for a fast shop in Farmers and then we all met up at 'Hanger 58'.

    It was so lovely sitting in the sunshine out in their courtyard.

    Nathan has full time work there now as a barman and he made us some very delicious drinks.

    I had the frozen fruit slushie.

    Perfect for such a hot sunny afternoon.

    Nuana met us there - nice to catch up with after so many months.

    Nathan made our drinks all pretty

    We also demolished 6 plates of entrees - they were delicious.

    All the food is prepared/cooked on the premises.

    Before we left we went inside to have a look around.

    The decor is really cool.

    Funky seats and colour schemes.

    The bosses were raving on to us about how good Nathan is at his job.

    They encouraged Tim & I to go upstairs and have a look there.

    The stair case is really cool - this is the view looking down into the main bar.

    The kids were all waiting over by the main doors for us.

    Nathan was working at the upstairs bar so we paid our bill there and then said our farewells to him.

    Tim had to go deliver a motor bike somewhere so I took Ellie and the kids to the beach.

    It was too lovely an evening to just go straight back to the house.

    They headed for the water like caged lions!

    As I was heading back to the Terrano I met up with Kathy & Brent who were just about to go for a beach walk.

    While we chatted Azzan took my camera and took masses off photos.

    I deleted most of them!

    Then I went to gather the girls up from the playground.

     

    We flew through the supermarket and then back to the house.

    Tim had gotten back just before us.

    We got ourselves all ready for our early morning start the next day.

    I filled bread rolls and packed up the lunch foods.

    Then we were off to bed.
